A 65th ANNIVERSARY special…
Fantastic Four #1 came out 65 years ago this summer — Aug, 8, 1961, to be precise — and Marvel has a couple of comics on the way that celebrate the anniversary. One of them is Fantastic Four: 65 Years of the World’s Greatest Comic Covers! which spotlights every main FF cover ever published. Head on over here to get the skinny.
The other publication is Fantastic Four #15, which will utilize classic images by Jack Kirby, John Buscema, John Byrne and Steve Epting “in an entirely new way.” (Both issues are due Aug. 5.)

65th ANNIVERSARY SPECTACULAR!
• It’s the 65th Anniversary of the Fantastic Four, and to celebrate, we’ve got an extra-large, extra-fantastic adventure for you, starring everyone’s favorite adventurers, spanning centuries of history and a universe of scientific progress!
• The Fantastic Four have been defeated: With their personal arrows of time reversed, they’re careening into the past with no hope of salvation – unless a complete stranger can find out what they need.
• But even if she does, that will only get them halfway home, because there’s still a threat in the present that’s waiting to kill them – and that’s IF they can arrive there alive!
• This is one issue you won’t want to miss – because you’ll have to wait 65 years for ANYTHING like it.
• PLUS: Johnny’s mustache saves New York City?!
• FEATURING CLASSIC IMAGES BY JACK KIRBY, JOHN BUSCEMA, JOHN BYRNE AND STEVE EPTING SEEN IN AN ENTIRELY NEW WAY!

Martin foil cover
That Martin cover will look fun in foil, won’t it?
It’s not yet clear what “an entirely new way” means for the vintage art, though Marvel did something similar with Planet of the Apes a few years ago. We’ll find out soon enough. The mere idea sounds intriguing.
